Hi Bob, not sure that I could get that many, our group is my S3, a Tuscan plus
2 Griffs. Also some German stuff but we’re split between two sites.
Have you tried any of the non ACO campsites around the area close by? Problem
is though I think all the on-site parking is sold out.
Keep your eye open for tickets on eBay but they might be expensive this year.
Best of luckBob
Planning St Saturnine on Friday.

Thanks. We are looking for 4 pitches for the North Yorkshire group (1 Chim, 1
991 (ex cerb and Tuscan, 1 BMW (don’t ask) and my Griff). Started in 2002 with
Dorset (Chim then Tuscan) then 2005 with the Yorkshire group (still Cum &
Tuscan) until 2008 (departed to Aus and left behind the Tuscan) and then 2015
to present when I have been in Kent, Derbyshire and Warwickshire (Skoda, BMW 7,
Griff and 991). Not that I move often or change cars - moving target and all
that. I cannot remember if I was in Derbyshire when I caught a lift with Nick.
Years seem to get confused.

available from our French group I’ll let you know.

I think I have tickets and tribune, it’s just camping that seems to be a bit
problem.

I openly criticise the ACO on Facebook accusing them of favouring the
corporates and forgetting their fans. I then received a phone call from the ACO
who wanted to know why I had said that as they felt it was most unhelpful.
I have received my annual allocation of tickets for Epinette and Tribune 17 as
somehow have gone onto their loyalty scheme. We also have secured ticket for
the temporary camping at the Hippodrome. We have 4 cars from the club in our
group although on adjoining sites.
The main problem seems to be that they have closed three campsite because all
parking inside the circuit has be moved out. This is to allow space for special
events and activities to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
Hopefully next year will be back to normal. This seems to overshadowed the
event itself which has been a bit sterile since Audi and Porsche left LMP1.

They’re going full on corporate as far as I can see & so many people are
struggling to get tickets as a result. Our group was only allocated about half
the tickets we’ve had in the past & even those with vouchers as a result of the
covid postponement can’t get placed at the moment. It’s a shitstorm to be
honest.
Not sure if it makes life easier if you’re an ACO member?
Best wishes

Totally messed up for this year as the ACO seem to want to make it a local
event with little camping for travellers from other regions of France or
abroad.
I am targeting Sebring and Spa for the same outlay as 5 days in France.
Disgraceful and disrespectful for the thousands who have traveled for
years/decades.

Yes Phil
Lots of cars drive really fast for a whole day & a night & we get drunk & fall
over a lot.
Hope this helps

Ps. If you’re looking for tickets I wish you well as our allocation was cut
dramatically this year. Three campsites around the circuit have been closed so
space is now if a premium.
We use 1st Tickets but if you approach them I don’t think they’ll be able to
help but worth trying them or one of the other specialist tickets agencies.
Give me a call or message me if you need to know more.

Hi all
I’m starting to look at events for next year & wondered if anyone would be
interested if we had a club display at Bromley Pageant Of Motoring on June 11th?
We’ve had club displays in the past but as it clashes with Le Mans 24hr I
haven’t been able to organise anything for a few years. I will be at LM again
next year so won’t be able to attend The Pageant but as times on our side I’m
happy to put the wheels in motion if enough of you are interested?
https://www.bromleypageant.com/home
This is a huge event & our cars always attract a lot of attention. We have all
the kit & resources to enable us to put on a great display.
All I need at this stage is some idea of the level of interest so I can go to
the organisers & see what they can offer, so please let me know if you fancy it.
All the best.
Nick
Ps, I have another show at Faversham that’s been suggested, a few TVRCC track
days are in the pipeline (dates & places just starting to come through so I’ll
do my best to keep you updated) & Tuscan racing at Brands Hatch to look into
amongst other things but suggestions are always welcome.
